Edge 300 Registration

This article provides instructions to register Cisco Edge 300 devices to Cloud and On-premise Appspace deployments, using the following two options:

Prerequisites

The Edge 300 device must be running at minimum, firmware version 1.5.
The workstation running the wizard must have Microsoft .Net Framework 4.5 installed.
The Appspace on-premise server should have sufficient client access licenses (CALs)/Appspace IDs to register the desired quantity of devices.

Ensure the following network port requirements are met:

Source	Destination	Ports	Description
Workstation	Appspace	HTTP (80) or HTTPS (443)	A web browser with Adobe Flash 10.0 Plugin is used to access Appspace. You must add appspace.com to the list of trusted websites, and enable pop-ups. The firewall/proxy server must allow access to the Appspace domain URL/IP.
Workstation	Edge 300	SSH (22)	The Edge wizard tool accesses the device via SSH during registration.
Edge 300	Appspace	HTTP (80) or HTTPS (443)	Background agents on media player devices connect to Appspace for content sync and player status reporting. The firewall/proxy server must allow access to the Appspace domain URL/IP.
Edge 300	Valid NTP Server (e.g. pool.ntp.org)	UDP (123) ICMP	The media player requires access to a valid NTP server to sync its system clock. This can be an internal network NTP server or a public NTP server on the pool.ntp.org domain name. The firewall/proxy server must allow access to a selected NTP server.

Follow the instructions below to register Edge 340 with the Online Registration Tool:

Click the Appspace extensions drop-down menu and go to Admin > Networks. Select the Players tab and click the Register Player button.
Select Cisco Edge 300/340 from the listed device types.
Select Online Registration.
Input the values for the various fields such as Device IP, Content delivery method, and Device Credentials. When finished, click Scan Devices to begin the device search.

Note

An IP range may be used for the Device IP field to find multiple devices.
All the Edge 300 devices found within the defined IP range are displayed. Select the check box of the devices you wish to register, and click Register Device. This process will take a few minutes depending on the number of devices selected.
Once the registration process is complete, the device’s status will change to Complete.

Follow the instructions below to register Edge 300 with the Edge Wizard:

In the Downloads extension, select ‘Appspace Edge 300 Wizard’ and click Download. Save the file to your device.
Right-click the installer file (.msi) and Run as Administrator.
Once the installation has completed, an Appspace Edge 300 Wizard shortcut icon will be placed on the desktop. Double-click the shortcut icon to run the wizard.
In the Start page, click Register.
In the Appspace Settings page, input the URL and credentials as per your Appspace deployment type, and click Next:
- On-Premise - Use the URL of your on-premise Appspace server. Example:
  - http://onprem.server.website.com
  - https://onprem.server.website.com
- Cloud - The Appspace URL is the device registration link from the Downloads page.
Note

When authenticating via Active Directory (single/multiple domain) the Username must be in the format of: short domain name Username
In the Device Settings page, input the device details and click REGISTER.

Note

Selecting the No for Use Local Storage option will force the wizard to use an external USB drive as the main content storage (replacing the local storage). You will have to use the USB port on the right side of the device and ensure the USB drive is formatted in ext3.
The wizard will proceed to register the device and the registration progress will be displayed.
Once registration has completed, a confirmation message is displayed.
